4.9/5 (9308 ratings)

Description:With flood waters rising, humanitarian relief work is the order of the day for the British Army in India.Ordered east from Peshawar the 114th Highlanders, the Queen’s Own Royal Strathspeys, are among those who come to assist the people. At the height of the evacuation word arrives that the Rawalpindi to Calcutta train is under attack by the Pathans.Complicating matters is the revelation that the niece of the 114th’s insufferable second-in-command, Lord Brora, is one of the civilians travelling on the flood-bound train.It is down to Captain James Ogilvie and B Company to rescue the train, its passengers… and the Raj’s gold, for on board are boxes of gold bars totalling some £100,000.Of great importance to the Pathans, they seek to acquire possession of the gold, whatever the cost…A life and death game of bluff unfolds on the train at Bundarbar, while the Political Officers skulk in the shadows and the Northern and Southern Commands clash like dinosaurs. For the women and children caught in the middle, all their hopes now rest upon the shoulders of Ogilvie and the intrepid Sergeant-Major Cunningham, and time is running out…‘The Wealth of Nations’ is a tense historical adventure featuring Captain James Ogilvie, set against the backdrop of the British Raj. It was first published as ‘The Train at Bundarbar’ under the pseudonym Duncan MacNeil.Praise for Philip McCutchan: “His character conflicts are well organised.” — Daily Telegraph “A most exciting successor to his first novel — and it is just as rugged.” — The Times, Hamilton, New ZealandPhilip McCutchan (1920-1996) grew up in the naval atmosphere of Portsmouth Dockyard and developed a lifetime’s interest in the sea. Military history was an early interest resulting in several fiction books, from amongst his large output, about the British Army and its campaigns, especially in the last 150 years.Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent digital publisher.
